You know how in the movies you see him across the room, your eyes meet, your heart pounds, and you fall instantly in love?
That DIDN'T happen.
My best friend at the time, Billie, kept hounding me to meet this guy Jimmy. I was chatting online and on the phone with this guy named Johnny and really felt a connection but then suddenly he stopped calling and wouldn't return my messages. So I drove to NH to meet this guy but with no thoughts of romance in my head. Then I saw him.....and still no thoughts of romance in my head. As we all hung out at Billie's playing cards I thought he was so obnoxious and childish. Jim was crazy about me though, I could tell. Later I would tell him "you grew on me..kinda like mold" it was our little joke. He did grow on me throughout the night. He told me I was beautiful and seemed giddy to be near me. He kept smiling this goofy smile. He barely watched the movie because he was too busy staring at me. I tried to pretend I could care less. I left the next morning and drove home convincing myself I did not care about this overgrown child like guy that was fawning over me.
but I was kidding myself.
